Hopefully Bort holds true to his word and completely restructures the leagues in the next offseason. It'll prevent stupid move ups/downs like the Gamecocks and Norsemen.

-Whoa! As a member of the Norseman, I'd like to let you know who we are, and what we're all about, before you go jumping into the deep end, making crazy statements, and what have you. We just got bumped up from OA-4 after 4 seasons of falling short of the big game. But that doesn't mean we don't belong here. I'm sure you're looking at our roster and seeing that we're lacking the high level players, and the depth that's needed behind it, but that's something that just happened during this off season. .Many of us, including our GM, live in, and around the Fargo area in ND and MN. We got hit by the highest river levels in recorded history and basically the entire region shut down to help out with sandbagging efforts. Normally, we have some of the highest level players in our league with great build, lower level players for depth. But because our GM lost his internet access for quite some time, we really missed out on signing new higher level players needed to compete in this new league, and resigning key players from seasons past. We lost a ton of our team because they signed with other teams during this uncertain time. As things get back to normal in real life, so will things on GLB. For the past 4 seasons, we have consistently led the league (not just conference) in many stats. We have consistently been competitive. And teams would never look to the schedule, see The Norseman, and think it was going to be an easy week. We haven't even played one pre-season game so I'd wait a couple weeks before judging the team you see. I don't think anyone should be bumped up a level, and think they're going deep in the playoffs. That said, I'll let our play on the field do the rest of my talking...

I was talking about the Rockhampton Norsemen, not you guys. Save the wall of text for when you know what you're talking about.

-You act shocked that someone could possibly come to that conclusion...like calling out "Lucy" at a I Love Lucy convention, and being surprised that more than one person turns to look. Like talking to my wife...expecting everybody to read her mind. Down boy. Simple miscommunication.

I'd have a hard time understanding too, if I looked like this. http://www.eastgreenland.com/enkelt.asp?lang=eng&num=632

Ok, in the pre-season doldrums, let's take a look at the ever maligned Alpha conference, who always seem to be the underdogs.


# 7 Darwin Hardline

Wow! This team has come to play!!!!!

Another solid team from the O-A-3 Alpha conference, that didn't miss by much making it to the Championship game.
But from the looks of things, Darwin doesn't plan to make it close in season 9, and they are doing a little team re-structuring, bringing in some big dogs!!

Darwin has a top notch starting lineup to compete in this conference, and league, and their depth is looking solid also. They will have some recovering to do early in the season with the hit they have taken to their chemistry, but that will recover by the end of the season. I'm liking these guys!



Over here in Darwin, we are a bit bored with the LOLPHA nonsense. So we decided to do something about it. I won't guarantee anything but the fact that you will know you have been in a dog fight after you get done with us. The GM group felt that we would be ready for promotion NEXT season so we are just playing the hand we have been dealt.

Good luck to all this season.

Your team wasn't moved up and moved down the next season, so what I wrote didn't even apply.

multi

do remember that preseason rankings are all based on previous seasons record...

which rewards the guys that moved up, and penalizes the guys that moved down. which is better the worst team in AAA or the best in A? exceptions aside, if I were a betting man, Id expect the real order of rankings to be closer to the inverse of what it shows, with some exceptions of course. gutted teams coming out of AAA and new stacked teams that just happened to start out in A.

guess my real point is that you ranked the "top" 8 which might miss out on some of the strongest teams.

/bitter you didnt rank EIM

I'd have you guys as the favourites... Are you much stronger than you were last season?

Aukland is a slow build team that will surprise you.

Don't let the 100% chem (like thats a bad thing) fool you...we have excellent builds and will compete very well here.
